Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Chandrakant Pandit is optimistic about the team’s prospects in the upcoming Indian Premier League 2025 season, citing the confidence boost that spinner Varun Chakaravarthy and pacer Harshit Rana have received from representing India and playing crucial roles in the national team’s Champions Trophy victory.

Pandit highlighted the importance of the two players’ contributions to both India and KKR in the past seasons, emphasizing their key roles in the team’s success. He also pointed out the presence of other key players like Sunil Narine in the squad, adding to the team’s strength.

The coach expressed his belief that the experience gained by Chakaravarthy and Rana at the international level will benefit KKR greatly, as they bring a high level of confidence to the team. This confidence, acquired from competing on the global stage, will be a valuable asset for the Knights as they prepare to kick off their campaign against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the iconic Eden Gardens.

Looking ahead to the season, Pandit stressed the importance of maintaining a winning formula and leveraging the strengths of the team’s key players. With the tournament set to begin on March 22, KKR will be looking to build on their past successes and make a strong start in their quest for the IPL title.

Overall, Pandit’s confidence in the team’s abilities and the impact of their experienced players bodes well for KKR’s prospects in the upcoming season. With a strong squad and a winning mindset, the Knights will be aiming to make their mark in the IPL 2025 season.
